Jamaican Curried Goat Recipe

Jamaican Curried Goat Recipe

  • 2 pounds goat stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 fresh hot chile peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 rib celery, chopped
  • 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks, or more as desired
  1. Combine goat meat, chile pepper, curry powder, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate to allow flavors to blend, 1 hour to overnight.
  2. Remove goat meat mixture from bowl and pat dry, reserving marinade. Heat vegetable oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook meat in batches, browning on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes per batch. Transfer meat to a plate. Add onion and celery to the stockpot; cook and stir until onion begins to brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
  3. Stir browned goat meat into onion mixture. Add reserved marinade, vegetable broth, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour. Stir in potatoes; simmer until potatoes and meat are tender, 35 to 45 minutes more.
  4. Remove stockpot from heat, skim off surface fat, and remove bay leaf.
